Martin (John Amplas), a young man who looks around 20-years-old, boards a train in Indianapolis, Indiana for New York. At night, he breaks into a sleeping car and sedates a woman with a syringe full of narcotics. She struggles, but he tells her not to struggle or be upset because she wont feel pain. After a few minutes, the woman falls asleep, and Martin has sex with the unconscious woman. Afterwards, he slices her wrists with a razor blade so he can drink her blood. The woman bleeds to death in her sleep.
In the morning, the train stops in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania where Martin disembarks. He is met by Tata Cuda (Lincoln Maazel) an elderly and hostile old man who claims to be his cousin from the Old World. Together, they travel by another train to the town of Braddock, a dying industrial suburb. They walk to Cuda's large house where he shows Martin his living quarters. Cuda then accuses Martin of being an 84-year-old vampire from his old country. He has taken in Martin because he is family, but tells him, "First I will save your soul. Then I shall destroy you." Martin denies being a vampire and implies that Cuda is merely his uncle rather than his cousin. Cuda then puts up strings of garlic on the doors to his and his granddaughter's room, and then holds up a small cross when Martin approaches him. Martin takes away the cross, and even takes a bite of the garlic mocking these attempts by saying bitterly, "There's no real magic... ever". Cuda tells Martin that he can come and go as he pleases. But he also warns Martin that he will kill him if he kills anyone in Braddock. He also tells Martin to stay away from his granddaughter Christine (Christine Forrest), whom arrives home from her job that evening.
Cuda introduces Christine to Martin, but also warns her to stay away from him. But Christine instead strikes up a friendship with Martin who confides in her about his vampire heritage. When Cuda later confirms Martin's claims to be a vampire, Christine, not surprisingly, refuses to believe either one. She thinks that Cuda and the other members of her family have driven Martin to insanity by making him think that he is a vampire. It is never revealed if Martin really is a vampire, or just a shy and lonely youth with troubled issues. Christine is the only person that Martin gets the courage to talk to. When Christine's boyfriend Arthur (Tom Savini) arrives at the house for dinner, Martin stops talking and backs away despite Arthur's attempt at a conversation. Christine later confides in Martin that she hopes to leave Braddock someday with Arthur, even though Martin points out that Arthur treats her badly and is both verbally and physically abusive towards her.
When Christine sees that Martin won't talk to anyone else, she buys him a phone which he installs in his room. Martin begins to repeatingly call a radio talk show where he describes what it's like to be a vampire. He becomes known on the radio as "the Count" to all the listeners. But the patronizing host (Michael Gornick) thinks he's just crazy.
Martin gets a job at Cuda's grocery store of stocking shelves, hauling boxes around, and even gets to be a delivery boy for some of the customers. One of his customers is a certain Abby Santini (Elyane Nadeau), who becomes taken in with Martin. She is a very friendly young woman who is depressed when she tells Martin that her husband is unfaithful. But Martin still does not have the nerve to talk with her, so she is happy to have someone to confide in with her life problems. Martin phones the radio show host to describe his infatuation with the housewife and senses that she wants to have sex with him. When the radio show host asks Martin if it is a sexual problem that he has involving women criticizing him during sex, Martin replies that he has never had sex with a woman who was awake.
One day, Martin travels by train to outside Braddock to look for victims. At a supermarket, he follows a young woman (Sarah Venable) home to her posh suburban house. He sees the woman's husband (Richard Rubenstein) leave for a long business trip, and Martin decides this would be the right time for more feeding. Martin returns to the house after dark and breaks in through the garage door. But it is Martin who gets the surprise when he bursts into her bedroom to find her in bed with her adulterous lover Lewis (Al Levitsky). After a vicious struggle, Martin jabs both of them with hyprodermic needles with narcotics, and waits for the drugs to take affect. He drags the unconscious body of Lewis from the house to a clump of trees across the street where he kills him by shoving a broken tree branch into his neck and drinks his blood. Martin returns to the house where he has sex with the unconscious woman. But out of compassion and pity, he decides to let her live.
Martin begins to have romantic monochrome visions of his vampire past (real or imagined), where he drained blood from a young woman and was chased through the streets of a nameless European town by a torch-lit mob.
During one Sunday at church, Cuda brings home Father Howard (George A. Romero) who asks him about the possibility of exorcism and demon possession. Father Howard calls upon the elderly Father Zulemans (Clifford Forrest, Jr.) over at Cuda's request. Together, Cuda and Zulemans confront Martin his bedroom and attempt to perform an exorcism on him. At this point, Martin remembers (another real or imaginary flashback), in the Old Country of people trying to perform an exorcism on him, and he flees them. Martin then flees from Cuda and Zuelmas as well. A little later that night, Martin terrorizes Cuda in a children's playground when he puts on a Dracula cape and puts false fangs into his mouth to pretend that he really is a vampire.
One day, Martin finally musters the courage to talk with Mrs. Santini during a routine delivery to her house where he tells her that he's aware of her attempts to seduce him and wants now to have sex with her. After having sex for the first time, Mrs. Santini becomes more depressed for she tells Martin that her husband just left her because she discovered that she cannot bear children, and that her desires towards him are based on sex and nothing else. But Martin wants to stay with her and help her move on with her life. Martin tells the radio show host about his affair with the housewife and that he no longer has the urge to attack other women.
Meanwhile, Arthur meets with Cuda and tells him that he wants Christine to leave town with him so they can get married and start a family. But Christine becomes angry at Cuda when he tells Arthur that insanity runs in their family and he shouldn't consider having children with her. Shortly afterwards, Christine packs up and leaves Braddock for New York with Arthur despite Martin telling her that Arthur is abusive towards her. But her mind is made up. Before leaving, Christine tells Martin that she really has no ill feelings towards him and just wants to make a fresh start with her life. She says goodbye to him and promises to write. But Martin knows that with an abusive and possessive man in Christine's life, she probably won't.
Depressed over losing his one true friend, Martin phones the radio show host and tells him that he's getting "shaky" and wants to go out looking for more victims. That night, Martin travels to a rough crime-ridden area of Pittsburgh and attacks two derelicts in a alley, injecting them with narcotics. He kills one of them by silting the bum's wrist and drinking his blood. Martin is about to kill the second one when a police car shows up and gives chase. Martin narrowly escapes during a long chase on foot which leads from the garbage strew streets and through a local store. Martin runs into an old warehouse where a drug deal is going down. A shootout between the two cops and the three thugs begins where all of them are killed, leaving Martin as the sole survivor who casually walks away from the carnage.
One day, Martin finds Mrs. Santini dead in her bathtub, after she had slit her writs with a razor blade. Martin anonymously calls the police to report the body and leaves. He phones the radio show host one final time to say that he really doesn't need friends or people to talk to for he is his own person. But when Cuda learns about Mrs. Santini's suicide, is mistakenly thinks Martin killed her and made it look like a suicide as he's done before. Cuda walks into Martin's room while he is asleep and kills him by hammering a wooden stake through Martin's heart.
Cuda buries Martin's body in his back garden, while over the closing credits various voices from people are heard talking to the radio show host asking the whereabouts of "the Count".
为什么要有那些闪回啊。而且也太多sense 8的演员了吧。。。感觉像在看超感猎杀圣诞特别篇，虽然我还挺喜欢他们的。这个故事啊，我真的是看不懂啊。。。
剧情还是可以的，值得一看，但是这个屎一样的打戏是怎么回事，基哥小拳拳锤敌人身上我隔着屏幕都感觉到了还没撒娇的女人来的有力度，所有的打戏都是有气无力甚至不如70年代邵氏的武打片。
竟然这么低分，可能过分反应现实的内容会刺痛很多人的自我认知吧。解构与元叙事，文本太扎实了，除了那个小程序被解释地有点潦草，整体来说还是超乎意料的。
这哪是新瓶旧酒或者旧瓶新酒的问题，这根本就是垃圾瓶装垃圾酒，然后打上一个黑客帝国的假冒伪劣商标。故事毫无创意，动作设计一塌糊涂，跟酷这个字毫不沾边。。
用《骇客帝国4》开启我的2022，完美！
主动摆烂可还行，被各种自嘲逗乐了。只能说到哪都一样，老板下场外行指导内行干涉创作真的很要命。
6.5/10 分。2022.02.28，初看，蓝光。狗尾续貂之作呀。。。当年我可是在电影院看的《黑客帝国》系列，第二三部还是看的首映呀。。。
🎥故事题材：
居然和我预想的没差，暮气沉沉，可以拍，但没必要的感觉。感觉更像是一部没太多激情投入拍出来的同人作品。
打斗完全没有新意，只是在不断重复自己，曾经是超前的思想实验和特效的标杆代表，如今就是狗尾续貂，旧瓶装新酒，又把第一部的模式照搬了一遍，彻底落入了俗套，也许这种系列电影总要被毁掉，而且只能由导演自己亲手毁掉。自嘲还是很不错的，但如今的好莱坞缺乏过硬的原创剧本是硬伤。说实话论有趣程度还不如《Freeguy》。
quote“整部电影就和基努里维斯的状态一样疲惫” 自我吐槽还挺有意思 不过看下来就感觉像个粉丝玩梗大电影 我全程WTF?? 2022/1/16@星轶with C
“市场不景气。我相信你能理解为什么我们敬爱的母公司华纳兄弟决定拍摄三部曲的续集。
竟然这么低分，可能过分反应现实的内容会刺痛很多人的自我认知吧。解构与元叙事，文本太扎实了，除了那个小程序被解释地有点潦草，整体来说还是超乎意料的。
基努怎么一点也没变！故事越来越复杂！经典！
即便在观看前充分调低了预期，也没想到能全方位垮塌到这个地步。完全美剧级的炒冷饭（好像辱美剧了），情节、人物、仪式感无一成立，动作戏无聊透顶，台词从质到量只能用洪水滔天四字形容，这进一步消弭了全片所剩无几的电影感。更加让人无法忍受的是无休无止的片段闪回和自我致敬，无法分辨这究竟是毫不自知的自恋，还是江郎才尽后的破罐破摔。20年前，《黑客帝国》横空出世，迅速而确凿地化作一块流行文化的图腾，一时间也引得不可胜数的恶搞与戏仿；20年后，《黑客帝国》自己的正统续作也姗姗来迟地加入了他们的行列。
作为粉丝向作品处处强行怀旧，但还是感觉被喂了屎一样如鲠在喉。最近的院线电影真让人怀疑影迷兜里的钱是不是大风刮来的（对，说的就是spiderman，kingsman和本作）
2、史密斯和墨菲斯回归 in 闪回，很激动，当然还有黑客众演员
4.0。cinity巨幕厅。1.企图用男女主角之爱来穿透象征界的巨大幻象，这不是独属于《黑客帝国》序列的原创，单凭这一点完全可以证实此系列还未找到绝佳的创意点来重启。2.对于实在界而言，机器与人类情感的互通有无，如果能有人机做爱场面，更能在世界观上有所突破。3.配乐很燃。
给中年粉丝的大礼。情深款款。感受到中年人的爱。
我不看这个，首先并非是它好不好看。
